Zoo Goes Global:)

We're going to take a little jaunt around the world to see what the world is saying about current events courtesy of WatchingAmerica.com, our favorite international translation website (and the only one I know of;)

'Zarqawi has Won' says Le Monde in France.

Zarqawi promised an international rout: by attacking U.N. headquarters in Baghdad he succeeded in making United Nations' agencies, NGOs and businessmen flee Iraq.

Zarqawi promised a ruthless war against the American Army. Even if his participation from a military point of view was undoubtedly less decisive than he claimed - most operations being conducted by Iraqi rebels, ex-Saddamists, Islamists or Sunni villagers - the result is there: no American patrol can hope to leave its base in Baghdad or in the Sunni triangle without being harassed, often to deadly effect.

Zarqawi finally and above all – and this is what differentiated him from an Osama bin Laden who is at war with the West and Saudi Arabia - promised blood and tears to the Shiites, to the Kurds, and a civil war in Iraq: this has come to pass.

'No Shame in Embracing President Bush' El Pais, Uruguay

It is certainly not a shame that our president has cordial exchanges with his counterpart and principal trading partner. First of all, this shows respect and politeness. These are traits sadly absent from many of their colleagues around the world. It also reflects a responsible, realistic and modern approach to the protection of national interests, which takes precedence over the childish left-wing ideology of showing off and verbalizing uncompromising opposition to alternative views.

'Now the Shoe is on Bushs Foot' Tunis Hebdo, Tunisia

By throwing himself into a vast adventure of war from the moment he became president, George Walker Bush hoped to achieve three major goals: to eradicate terrorism, to bring democracy to the Arab-Muslim world and to reduce the price of oil to the lowest possible level by gaining control of the huge oil fields in Mesopotamia. We can now see the results: terrorism has increased in intensity; after the staggering victory of Hamas, the Arab-Muslim world is no way nearer democracy; and oil prices have reached historical highs.

Truly, the shoe is on the other foot.

And now we're back:)....Stay Global and as always...
